Happy anniversary 🎁🎉🎁🎉🎁🎉🎁
Hello all.

I know it has been quite some time since I was here. Logged in today to find out that one of my stories was a finalist in the Quills, supernatural/genre, so that's cool.

Also thank you for the merit badges and all that.

Cheers.

Thank you Schnujo is Late to Lannister Words Whirling 'Round and Adherennium Dr of Phoolishness for the merit badges.

I have not been here in forever, it seems, but university is keeping me busy. If it weren't for this site and the feedback and encouragement I received regarding my writing, I would never have thought I was worthy of enrolling, so cheers to all of you.

Yes Schnujo is Late to Lannister I am studying creative writing now, and it is the positive feedback I received here that encouraged me to do this. I am drinking less and rarely drug, and last time I checked, No STDs. So all is good!!
Creative writing?!? WOW! HOW AWESOME!!! *Party*

As for your college life experiences, good job on staying out of trouble with those things that can really ruin a college experience, if not a life. *Wink*

Good luck in school! I'm so excited for you! *Delight*
You're welcome!
Hey all,

got the results of my first assignment back. 11 out of 15 which according to my tutor is a "great job".
Finished the first thesis I have ever done in my life, arguing that rock and heavy metal music has had a positive influence on society.
Currently working on assignment number 3!
I am looking forward to starting 'Introduction to Creative Writing', because at the moment it is all just core university stuff but it is all very interesting.

And on an even more positive note, my cat returned after 5 months of being AWOL, pretending like nothing happened!!

"S'up can opener?" - cat probably.

Glad things are going well course-wise.
Thank you.

I just finished my first Uni assignment which involved a lot of research.
My topic is "The role of rock and metal music in influencing society and culture."
I have not written for fun during this time, but I am still here when I have the time.

Sounds like a really interesting paper - and fun research. Hope you're enjoying (or making the best of) Uni!
And don't worry, we won't forget about you. *HeartV*

'Flame Trees' is my favourite Cold Chisel song and one of my two favourite Aussie rock tracks ever (the other is 'The Unguarded Moment' by The Church).

Seen Chisel live twice now, and their last album Blood Moon was criminally ignored by the public.

I will say my faavourite Australian band is the Angels (RIP, Doc), a band I have seen live more than any other, including the night when they closed down the Old Lion Hotel for good.
Thanks ddenki24

s Flame trees is an amazing song. My fave Aussie band still has to be The Screaming Jets.
I haven't posted in a while. Getting ready for my Uni course in creative writing.
But anyway here is some Australian music for the world.

I like 'How Far Have We Really Come?'

I just finished (as in last year) a creative writing degree through Open Universities Australia and Curtin University. So it's a Bachelor of Arts (Creative Writing). Was fun and actually quite easy to get consistent good grades (I think only 3 subjects I got credits; the rest were distinctions or higher). I mean, it didn't actually help my writing, but that piece of paper is what some overseas publishers like to see.
I am doing the exact same course, also through Open Uni and Curtin.

Before I forget, I want to thank s and ddenki24 for their advice regarding creative writing courses.
I am now officially a university student enrolled in a Bachelor of Creative Writing.
